Method 2 of 2: Manually
1 Mark the position of the loops carefully.
2 Remove the slots, being careful not to show off their edges.
3 Insert the thread through the needle and tie a knot.
4Bring the needle out from the wrong side of the fabric to the right side.
5 Loop the thread and push the needle back into the fabric.
6 Thread the needle into the loop and pull the thread while tightening it.
7 Repeat the process at short intervals.
8 Continue sewing the perimeter buttonhole until all edges have been securely finished. If desired, the edges of the buttonhole can be tucked slightly while sewing.
Tips
- Thick thread is very helpful when sewing buttonholes by hand.
- If new, practice sewing buttonholes on an unnecessary piece of fabric before making them on the garment itself, especially the one that has just been sewn.
- Different sewing machines sew different buttonholes. Some require pressing the reverse button, while others independently sew the entire loop at once without your intervention. Check your sewing machine manual for specific instructions.
Warnings
- Needles and scissors must be handled carefully to avoid injury.
